Shots and reviews

Today got some time to spent on my car... so today managed to clean the interior... exterior, sprayin back the lips and pillar again... and relocate back the oil cooler to the side...


The reason..? got some thing happen this week.. will find a better place for my oil cooler soon... my moon shooting exhaust also will pospone till... maybe next week...

And some shots i took today..





I love this area...


Low enough...?

it's never enough...

After using this car for a few days...

- the combination of hard absorber and springs for the front makin' the car feels like a drift c ar...a lil bit bouncy but did a great job on corners....

- slow on humps... the piping always stuck on humps... damn...

-beware of pothole... cant never hit pothole...as the u-bolt will scrape the road...

and i just need to have 12V Saga carburetore... coz my current carb is already kong.. anyone who have saga 12v car.. do contact me...

cheerio~

Lowering the front

Continue with lowering the front part...

So.. as usual...remove the wheels... ofcourse la..(but i didnt remove the wheels last time cos the wheel nut was too tight...yeah...)


So...adjustable...opps.. sorry... dat standard suspension removed... (and i noticed the left is from KE70 and the right is the original... the difference is the base of the spring is bigger for KE70..)

Rusty...

The plan is to install LE absorber which is a bit shorter than the original.. which what i want...a short stroke... so... i gotta cut a bit of the suspension and make a new thread...

Again...ready to be sent to machine shop...

Unfortunately... the machine shop cannot do the job... so they put a bush under the absorber and install the LE absorber... which... until now it seems to do the job... no problems occurs...

also cut the springs about 2 loop..

after installin back the springs... went to tyre shop to tighten it...

Installin' back...

Adjusting the springs...

And down she go!

Is it low enough..? read the next post.. ;)

Lowering the rear

well...lets continue with lowering the rear part first... (actually i've already forgot bout my blog...but...im gonna make it alive again...)

So.. again... borrowed stand from my friend and bought a cheapo jack which is.....well.. not very useful...

starting by opening the tires , u-bolt and block..


Removing the rubber...(coz it will hit my axle if i dont remove it...since im goin to slam my car...)


testing the block and the long u-bolt... (u-bolt bought from accesories shop in KL...kinda hard to find)


see the difference..? (from right the original, middle previous 2" kit, left current setup...)



This thing caught my attention..seems like the u-bolt is kinda...too long...


Anyway...managed to measure where to drill a hole on the... base...(?) (i dunno what that thing is called)


Preparin' the stuffs to be sent to machine shop...


While waiting for them to do that job... managed to roll the fenders using the rubber hammer...


and cutting that thing..(also forgot the name..)
(why did i cut that thing..? coz the u-bolt diameter is bigger...so the original hole doesnt fit the big u-bolt...)


got some extra sprays...so...candy red does make the block looks nicer... ;)


after some boring hours...


stuffs finally ready..so picked up using my wagon...since this is the first time driving the wagon this year...

mmmm...

So, installin the block!!

Moments of truth..

Zappp... lowering da jack!

Some problems occur... the u-bolt is too long! and not enough thread to lock the u-bolt...

But it does looks nice...

Unfortunately...gotta jacked it up again...

Plan is to cut the u-bolt about 1.5 inch and make a new thread around 2 inch..

but machine shop cant make a new thread as the steel is U in shape instead of just straight steels...

Some idea came in... decided to cut the thread 1 1/4 inch...

and bought this humble nuts....for what..?

yeah! it acts like a spacer... the nuts is bigger than the u-bolt... so i can tight the nut without insufficiency of thread... :P

And vuallah! all problems solved...

For the second time...zapp.... down...

Slam enough...? hehe...

Continue with the front part~

KE30 Bosozoku project... START !!

So first... the blue intercool....oppss... oil cooler is already silver in color... cos blue and red doesnt really make a nice combination... so went to Botak's Garage to install the oil cooler..


The installation takin' almost a day with the bracket to install... modifying the oil filter screw..( which doesnt really fit the original screw...)

Asked Bakat to install 4k carb...but failed.. so..after 4 days with him...finally using the standard 3k carb back.. but its already kong... cant climb hill no more.. cant potong kancil no more... but it makin' a nice sound when i turn off the engine though...

Then i install the electronic RPM.. but doesnt really accurate though... 5k when idling..? nah...

and receive 4" lowering block from Juan... its really heavy... i think 1 block is around 10kg..? there's go 20 more KG in my car :( .... but i wonder how to find the u-bolt though...

and installin' the front lips....

after some showering...

I dunno why the picture looks kinda...old... cos i just took this picture... camera problem when snapping the car....? lol..i dunno...
